Discover the ultimate cloud storage potential in today's post as we delve into the art of pCloud iCloud integration. Whether you're a user of both platforms or seeking to streamline your data management, we've got you covered. Join us on this journey to seamless synchronization!
pCloud and iCloud are different in user needs and ecosystems, although they are both cloud storage services.
Choosing between the two depends on your ecosystem and priorities. iCloud is the natural choice if you're deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem, valuing seamless device synchronization. It's also great for privacy-conscious users. pCloud, with its cross-platform compatibility, larger free storage, and flexible pricing, is a better fit for those who use a mix of devices and need more versatile storage options. Additionally, pCloud's collaboration features are beneficial for sharing and working on files with others.
As the last section mentioned, pCloud and iCloud have their own advantages. If you are a mixed-device user, syncing pCloud with iCloud can help you manage the files on the 2 clouds in a centralized way. At this point, MultCloud deserves to be tried.
MultCloud is a free service that aims to manage multiple cloud drives with one app. It specializes in transferring files from one cloud to another. To meet different users’ transfer needs, MultCloud gives functions such as Cloud Transfer, Cloud Sync, and Cloud Backup. Each function corresponds to a different usage. You can see from the function name that Cloud Sync is the most suitable choice to sync pCloud to iCloud Drive.
Cloud Sync has various options and features that can make a sync task smarter:
The steps are easy to follow and you can check them below.
Step 1: Enter MultCloud and sign up for a new account if you do not have one.
Step 2: Add pCloud and iCloud. To add a cloud drive you should first click “Add Cloud” and the cloud icon. Then log in to your cloud account and let MultCloud access to your files.
Note: There is an additional operation after you log in to your account when you add iCloud Drive. You have to go through the two-factor authentication to sign in successfully.
Step 3: Select “Cloud Sync” in the left sidebar. Then click the FROM box to choose pCloud and click the TO box to choose iCloud Drive. Before the final operation click on “Sync Now” to sync pCloud to iCloud, you can set the sync modes, Filter, and Schedule to make the task more customizable.
Note: MultCloud uses bandwidth to transfer files and it offers 5 GB of free traffic per month. If that is not enough for you to sync pCloud with iCloud, you can upgrade to a higher one to get more traffic and use all the paid features.
Except for using MultCloud to sync pCloud to iCloud, you can also use it to backup files from iCloud Drive to pCloud. It can be helpful if you want to use Windows or Android devices to manage the files on iCloud Drive. Also, having a backup on pCloud is also a protection for the iCloud Drive files. If you accidentally delete or modify the files on iCloud Drive, you can restore them back from pCloud even in different versions.
Step 1: Add iCloud Drive and pCloud to MultCloud after you sign in.
Step 2: Select “Cloud Backup” in the left bar, choose iCloud Drive and pCloud in the boxes, and click “Backup Now” to transfer files from iCloud to pCloud. Of course, you can also use the Filter and the Schedule to select desired files and set backup frequency.
Step 1: Click “Task List” and find this task. Then tap on the button next to “Backup Now” and choose “Restore” in the menu. In the restore window, you can choose the file version, decide how to deal with the original file on iCloud Drive, and select to restore which file.
Step 2: Click the “Next” button and choose to restore files to the original location or to a new location. Finally, tap “Restore” to start restoring.
